Geometridae, Larentiinae - Wingspan: 30-38mm. A very similar looking species to 1734 S. luridata, superficially looking the same. This species can be determined by the central forewing spots being equi-distant from the central bar edges, and the spots usually combining to look tear-shaped. The flight time is a little earlier than the July Belle, with the population peaking late May and June. Although considered a more local species, the numbers recorded in Cornwall are much higher than the later species, with distribution being more to the west of the county.

Geometridae, Ennominae - Wingspan: 24mm. A single specimen of this fairly common species came to our trap on the eighth night of our stay. Rather pale as this species goes in the UK, no alternative ID has b een found so far.
